My secret for soft and silky skin is simple: moisturize, moisturize and moisturize again. For optimum results, do this twice a day; once in the morning and again before bed. Yes, it can be time consuming, but it's so worth it! That's not all, though! You want to try and apply your moisturizer while still in the bathroom with the steam trapped inside. This is when your pores are most open, so you'll get the maximum benefit from your moisturizer. Another thing you can do--which is what I, personally, do--is apply a body oil while in the shower. Right before I get out of the shower, I smooth Neutrogena Sesame Oil all over and lightly rinse off. Make sure you pat-dry when you leave the shower. Most of the time, I still proceed with applying a good lotion just for extra moisturizing.
*Side note: Don't buy your lotion at the 99 cent store! Be a little more choosy about what you apply to your skin....because it's the only skin you'll ever have in this lifetime. I prefer something without mineral oil, since it can clog your pores. Think about how much you'll gain from spending a couple of extra dollars on a good moisturizer. One of my favorites is any one of the Curel Moisture Lotions.
